Murphy-Jones Bout
An echo of the recent MurphyJones controversy was sounded at the annual meeting of the Westport Boxing Association when reference to a motion carried at the previous annual meeting, congratulating the New Zealand Council on its attitude taken at the time in the interests of the sporrt in this Dominion, was made by Mr H. O’Neill. He said that the matter had not been carried further by the Council and if Jones could get his licence restored and Murphy allowed to come back and fight in New Zealand, as was expected, the game would be on a low level. It was decided to ask the New Zealand Association why a second conference had not been called to deal with the matter.
